Kennen's build path is far too strong right now

The item changes in the mid year mage update were perfect for him. The holy trinity of gave him everything he could possibly want:

Health
Magic resist
Armour
AoE Magic penetration approximately the same size as his ult
Invulnerability that synergises super well with his ult
30% CDR
Damaging gap closer
A sizeable amount of AP

All this packed into 3 relatively cheap items with flexible build paths that allow itemisation in the laning phase? Combined with the buffs he got that made his ult far more reliable in the mid season update I'm suprised people haven't been complaining about him sooner

I don't mean to brag or anything but...

relatively soon after the boards stopped complaining about zed/yasuo (even though yasuo was complained about, it isn't tank yasuo anymore) there was a post that was talking about what new champion the boards were gonna complain about

My top two guesses were: Kennen and KogMaw Oh boy was I right xD
